Then came the car accident....more weight put on. I am now obsese and ashamed of what I have done to myself. I need some serious support to get back to a healthy weight. I can do limited walking so all suggestions for exercise are welcomed. Thank you all for you support in the upcoming future. Braving a new year, Halelani. |
Talk about a streak of bad luck!
Yes swimming and light walking is good like Chazzy said, and so is lifting light weights like dumbbells! I have also seen people get a great workout from hand bikes if you can find them as well.
Sometimes posting here every day can help with that motivation....a lot of people do that and it seems to keep them on track. Writing down the food you eat is also another way to hold yourself accountable and visually remind yourself to slow down.
